Re: Dept of Utterly Useless Error Messages

When I run xpdf I get the message "Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab". The program seems to run in spite of this. I googled for the message, with a number of hits, but none had any suggestion of a solution, or a cause.

Oh, come on. I remember a fellow getting the message "Error in source deck." from a programming class way back when (?? ALGOL on in an IBM System/370 ??).

Now that's a utterly useless error message.

Cheers,
